Country Ridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 10,031 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 4–4.3

Country Ridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ, population 10,031. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.

Court records carry 1,083 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. 27% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little below the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 31.8% of renter households. At $1,405 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Phoenix commands.

The most recent observed rate, 7.7% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #46 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.

For a like-for-like read, Squaw Peak Terrace and Park Phoenix score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $71,162.

With little internal variation, 4.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
